​Tottenham midfielder Hojbjerg relishing December fixtures

Tottenham defensive midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg cannot wait for their December fixtures.

The all action, tenacious superstar is raring to go after the London club have made a positive start to life under recently appointed boss Antonio Conte.

Spurs are now two points behind fourth placed West Ham United, and they have a game in hand.

"It comes down to giving something to the people," Hojbjerg said.

"It is also what this festive period is about.

"To be able to give some joy and excitement through football, not only to ourselves but to the people following us, that is something exciting to be part of as a player.

"This is why I love English football, the English set-up, all the games, people excited about it at Christmas time, we can eat salad while people eat pudding and have a pint. No problem with that!

"I think it's very special these circumstances in England, I enjoy it a lot, it's exciting and hopefully we'll get a lot of wins."
